Notes
a. Note:   BI550
Note:   SSDI confirms date of birth as 24 Jan 1884. Lists death in Mar 1970, no specific day listed. Marriage license between Jessie P. Lanier and Ira Z. Swisher indicates she was born in Mason Co., WV, while marriage register listing between Jessie P. Swisher and H. E. Bek indicates she was born in Cabell Co., WV. Since she was living in Mason Co. at the time of her first marriage (to Swisher), and since Swisher was born in Mason Co., it is likely that record is the more accurate. However, further research would be necessary to establish greater certainty. Cabell and Mason counties abut one another along the Ohio River in West Virginia.
